Bill overview
This bill, titled the "Protecting Minors from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation Act," prohibits healthcare professionals in Michigan from performing or prescribing treatments intended to alter a minor’s appearance or psychological perception of their sex, particularly if it contradicts their biological sex. It specifically restricts the use of hormone therapies and surgical procedures like gender-affirming surgeries. However, the bill includes exceptions for minors with disorders of sex development or those undergoing treatment for medically necessary conditions. Individuals who believe this act has been violated can sue for damages or injunctive relief.
